CAMBRIDGE, MA (December 9, 2015) -
Hopper, the leading airfare prediction app that tells you when to fly and buy, today was named one of the best apps of 2015 by Apple. Hopper earned the #7 spot on the App Store Best of 2015 list which showcases this year's most innovative apps. It is the only app in the travel category to make this year's list.

The Hopper app provides insightful, data-driven research to help travelers make better decisions about when to fly and buy. Hopper predicts future flight prices with 95% accuracy and notifies you when to book. It's like having a super-fast, all-knowing travel agent in your pocket.

Simply enter a destination into Hopper, and the app quickly scours the Internet for the best deals, giving you an easy-to-understand snapshot of fares, ideal travel dates, and even when prices for your flight are likely to rise and fall. You might even end up saving enough money for a knee-pleasing seat upgrade."

We've poured our heart and soul into this so it feels amazing to recognized alongside apps like Periscope and Instagram. Being the only travel app to make the list this year was also a surprise."
